A-Levels from Scarborough (otherwise Michael Chapman's "Postcards of Scarborough") from around 1971 when Prince Charles joined the Navy

If you're fourteen to twenty-and-a-half then the Navy is for you
When you go down to Dartmouth all your dreams will come true
So different from when you're home in Hartlepool
And if you've got two A-levels then an officer you'll be
You can sit down in your uniform and get waited on at tea
So different from when you're home in Hartlepool

I got two A-levels from Scarborough at the Technical College
Distinction in Woodwork and scraped Religious Knowledge
So different from the thickoes in the audience
And guess who sleeps in the next room and after lights are out
He comes into my room and he lets it all hang out
Charles the future king of England

But me dad was so tastless, his breath was so stale
I've left him in the gutter with his accent and his ale

After twelve months at Dartmouth they will put you on a boat
And for one whole year they will teach you how to float
It's a nice boat, not like those boats at South Shields
Those horrible common mucky boats at South Shields

The lords and ladies came to watch me shake the Admiral's hand
Even Charlies's mum was there, so regal and so grand
Prince Philip so immaculately tasteful [belch !]

But me dad was so tastless, his breath was so stale
The bugger only got there cos they let him out of jail
So different from the parents of my room-mate
Charles the future king of England
